No person can ever conquer any great challenge without the support of many great people. Support comes in many forms. It usually starts out with dedicated and devoted parents. As time passes...a team of friends, coaches, training partners, and even competitors are responsible for developing greatness within.

Ultimately, there is always a price tag that is associated with the challenge of soaring among the stars, which can become the most difficult challenge of them all...money. Or better yet, the lack of money.

Most Canadian Tour Players have great aspiriations of being on the PGA Tour, but face a huge challenge when it comes to getting there. Since the Canadian Tour is very much a developmental tour for the PGA, most of the players are learning what it takes to compete at the highest levels and must play in as many events as possible. This comes at a great cost to the players, with costs in the range of $50,000 per year. It's not uncommon to see a Canadian Tour player sleeping in a rented car because they don't have enough money to rent a room.

"Don't the golfers on tour get corporate sponsorship?"

Very few professional golfers actually get large forms of corporate sponsorship. While many corporate sponsors help players by providing clothing, clubs, or bags, most players don't get financial support. Financial support is reserved for the players that have already made it to the top. Corporate sponsors are not generally interested in supporting a player in the developmental stages of professional play.
